Megan's Law is a federal statute that establishes a statewide registry containing information on which of the following?

• A. Mortgage lenders
• B. Realtors
• C. Sex offenders
• D. Property tax delinquents

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is public access to information about individuals who pose a risk to the community, by maintaining a registry of those who have committed sex offenses. Megan's Law requires states to keep a registry of sex offenders and to provide public notification about their presence in the community. This helps people know who lives nearby and take appropriate safety precautions. The name comes from a case that spurred public notification laws, and the statute is about offender information, not financial or property matters. So it’s not about mortgage lenders, real estate professionals, or property tax delinquents.
